    Posted: December 06 2005 at 10:39

As has already been mentioned elsewhere in the forum, Blacksword and I are due to see the mighty IQ in concert this Saturday the 10th of December (year of our taxation 2005) at The Mean Fiddler, Charing Cross, London, UK. 

Blacksword (a.k.a. Andy) and I plan to meet up beforehand to have a beer and a natter about all things prog before witnessing the real thing before our excited little eyes. In the great tradition of Ye Olde Prog Club (est. Nov 2005), all are welcome to join us.

A mutually convenient meeting place has yet to be decided upon but yours truly is flexible on the location unless it involves boxing rings or crack houses. 

Suggestions anyone?

I know that IQ are playing in London, Charing Cross

I am currently in Bath, studying, those of the UK should know the place...

I am just 1.5 hours away from London but I'm not sure I will make it

I have too many assignments to hand in next week... stupid assignments!!!

I will try to make it but this seems difficult........

Simon and Andy
hope you have a great time at the gig, sorry I can't make it but I'll look forward to some more well-written reviews next week.
We really must get this prog club going after Christmas - we can talk about the CDs we got from Santa. Let's do it!

Richard:

If you can get to Waterloo station for 4.30pm on Saturday you can link up with me and sigod. We're meeting up outside a bar in the station called 'Boneparts' Charing Cross is not far from there.

Failing that you can get to the venue on the Northern Line to Tottenham Court Road.

If anyone can give more explicit directions for Richard please do.

It would be good to meet you.

I've been to the Astoria before so I should be ok for the Mean Fidldler.Thanks anyway.I'm travelling from Swindon so I'll either park in Hammersmith and get the tube in or get the train to Paddington and go from there.I don't think I'll make it to Waterloo but hopefully I'll see you at the venue.

Worry not Richard, here's the Mean Fiddler homepage;

http://www.meanfiddler.com/displayPage_mf.asp?PageID=429

And a link to Streetmap;

streetmap.dll?G2M?X=529810&Y=181320&A=Y&Z=1

The Mean Fiddler is located to the right of the Astoria (as you face it). The entrance is at street level but the venue itself is actualy underneath the Astoria (lots of fun watching the lighting rig wobble, as the crowd in the venue above jump about).

Hope to see you there mate.

aapatsos/sleeper; if you can get down to the venue it would be great to see you. Andy and I are meeting before hand (see posts above), so if you can meet up with us, you'd be more than welcome.

Chopper; It would be great to meet up with you anytime. Chris, Andy and I have talked about getting together over a curry sometime in the near future and if you can make it, it's always gonna be better with you than without you.

This potential prog curry in the new year is as ever, open to all who wish to join us.

Simon, a prog curry would be great. I know a good place in Lower Thames Street opposite Billingsgate which is not usually too crowded during the week. There's also a pub next door, which is handy. Look forward to it.
